I awoke about 4am - not fully awake, but unable to go back to sleep.

So I pulled up a piano awash in reverb, and had a conversation with the night.

There was no goal to have 8 bar phrases, or familiar patterns. The goal was to...talk...and see what was said.

Here are 12 calm piano phrases, each from a minute to a minute and half or so.

They are calm and. welcoming - like a latenight conversation with an old friend you can be yourself with.
